Ingredients
  

  • 1 3-Ounce Box Grape Jello
  • 3/4 Cup Boiling Water
  • 2/3 Cup Red Berry Vodka
  • 1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
  • 4 Ounces Whipped Topping optional
  • Purple Sanding Sugar optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Add the Jell-o mix and the boiling water into a medium mixing bowl. Stir until the Jell-o is fully dissolved - you don't want any lumps!
  2. Add in the vodka and lime juice and stir together.
  3. Place the shot cups on a flat surface that you can move later, such as a baking sheet or large plate.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into each cup, filling almost up to the top. Leave room at the top so that the mixture doesn't overflow when you move them.
  5. Move to the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours or until set before serving.
  6. If desired, add a little bit of whipped topping to the top of each Jello shot, then top with purple sanding sugar.

Notes

 
  • You can make these in advance and store them, with the caps on, in the fridge, for up to 4 days before serving. However, do not add the garnish until immediately upon serving.
  • Do not freeze!
  • The berry flavored vodka is important for the sweet and sour taste. If you must use a regular vodka, reduce the amount slightly and replace with a berry-flavored liquer to reach the same amount of alcohol in the recipe.
  • For thinner Jello shots, you can add more alcohol. For a more firm consistency, reduce the alcohol just a little bit and replace it with water.
